Refrigeration Rental Options in Lexington, SC
Lexington has about 25,400 residents (Census Bureau 2024 estimate) and the hospitals, schools, grocers, and food businesses that come with a regional hub, any of which can lose cold storage without warning. Typical customers in Lexington include food distributors, nursing homes and care facilities, and grocery stores.
Two products cover most Lexington calls. A refrigeration trailer is the quick answer: a walk-in cooler or freezer that arrives on wheels and plugs in. Our 20-foot units are listed at 15°F and -5°F, which are listed points rather than guarantees for every load. A refrigerated container suits storage that stays for weeks, in 20, 24, or 40 foot lengths.
For a Lexington site, plan a level area, a clear route for a tow vehicle, and 220V single-phase power (40 to 60 amps for our 20-foot units). If power is limited, a container with a generator set may be the answer. We confirm placement and power before delivery.

Cold Storage Planning in Lexington
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 10 federally declared major disasters that included Lexington County, South Carolina. The most recent are Hurricane Helene (hurricane, declared September 29, 2024, disaster 4829); Hurricane Ian (hurricane, declared November 21, 2022, disaster 4677); Covid-19 Pandemic (biological, declared March 27, 2020, disaster 4492). When an event like that interrupts power or closes a building, a refrigerated trailer or container can protect stored food and supplies while repairs are made.

2. Major construction
A warehouse, school addition, or plant built anywhere between Lexington and West Columbia, about 7 miles away, can outrun its permanent refrigeration. A leased container or trailer fills the gap until the building is ready. This is an example of the need, not a statement that we serve a particular project.
3. Major renovation
Picture a food distributor in Lexington that retrofits a dock. Refrigerated containers could hold inbound loads so deliveries are not turned away. This is a scenario, not a past job.
4. Emergency equipment access
For a Lexington emergency, the South Carolina Emergency Management Division coordinates at the state level and the emergency management office for Lexington County at the local level. Our deliveries are our own: we plan the route, the gate, and the power with you, and we do not claim any official staging route.
5. Local rental costs
A rental here begins at $995 per month for a refrigerated container or walk-in trailer. Mobile kitchens and dishwashing trailers begin at $4,995 per month. Distance to Lexington, power, temperature, and term decide the quote we confirm before anything ships. See the price list or request a quote.
